Kurils are a Russian land
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has made a repeat trip to one of four islands claimed by both Russia and Japan, prompting Japan to complain to Russia's ambassador in Tokyo, the Voice of America reports.
“This is our native land, we will not give away an inch, absolutely. Why should we? The one who gives away even a small part of his land usually provokes a thunderstorm,” the PM said.
